Even though I live near and enjoy the friendship of several Muslims, I do not understand the Muslim intolerance for almost all things not their own.

More fairly, I do not understand the extreme intolerance of the radicalized textbooks and teaching aids used in several Muslim nation; Iran chief among them.

The Israel-based Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace just completed a study that reports on the lack of tolerance in Iran’s school textbooks.

The study analyzed 95 textbooks and 20 teacher’s guides used at Iran’s state-run schools.

The study found a systematic effort to denigrate western culture, traditions and religions.

To he surprise of few who are informed on the topic, the study also found that Iran’s school textbooks repeatedly refer to the United States as the “Great Satan” and to Israel as “the regime that occupies Jerusalem.” In fact, most Americans would call a lot of what can be found in Iran’s school textbooks as “hate speech.”

Simple. Mohammed had no tolerance, so neither does the
phony religion he concocted.

The more that leaks out and finds it's way into the mainstream media about just how radicalized the countries in the middle east are the better it will be for all of us. Most Americans have not come to grips with just how widespread the brainwashing against us is. We are repeatedly told that moderate muslims are by far in the majority. Stories such as this which expose how entire nations have are brainswashed is truly enlightening and gives us a better gauge of how deep the problem truly is.

Pre-9/11 mainstream America had seen radical citzens marching in the streets of Middle Eastern countries on the nightly news but few understood why they hated us so much or how widespread the problem was. Post 9/11 we have undergone a transformation specifically in the we are now beginning to question the nature of such countries, how they got that way, and how deep the problem actually goes.

It is getting harder each and every day for liberals to minimalize or dismiss out of hand arguments warning of the nature of what we are facing with the 'we just aren't doing enough to understand their viewpoint' argument when everything we find out only gives credence to the warnings.

To cover up the evidence that Mohammad plagarized almost all his writings from Christians and jews, Mohammad covered his tracks with hatred and blame and killing any who tell the truth.
